We had a wonderful time at Broomholmknowe Cottage, arriving on Boxing Day 2013. The cottage is furnished to a very high standard, really comfortable and beautifully decorated with a very well equipped and spacious kitchen. Our 2 teenage sons thought it was the best cottage we have stayed in so far (& there have been quite a few!)- we agree! It is a nice 30 minute walk to town where you will find a couple of good pubs/cafes and a co-op supermarket. The cottage is set within extensive grounds with great walks from the doorstep - the scenery around the river is stunning. We are already planning our next stay- most definitely recommended! (The friendly owner is sometimes out of the country so response to enquiries can be delayed, but be patient- it's well worth the wait!)

I stayed in Broomholmknowe in September. It has just been refurbished to a very high standard and has everything you need. The location is great - in a private setting within the Broomholm estate with open fields and ancient woodland on either side of the cottage. The river is a stones throw away. Fantastic base for fishing, walking and exploring. I would thoroughly recommend this place although am slightly reluctant to do so as I don't want it to be booked up for my return visit next year!

We were lucky enough to rent Broomholm Knowe as pretty much the first inhabitants. Firstly the cottage itself is so incredibly presented with beautiful interior with a focus on the fishing as well as Russia where I believe one of the owners is originally from. Washing machine, dishwasher< Sky (if for some mad reason you don't want to go outside), WiFi and all the usual mod cons although with the weather we didn't need use the drying room even once! Scotland?!

The fishing is superb - the surroundings are beautiful and we caught a few sea trout while we were there so all went away delighted. Bryan the Ghillie is a pleasure and his knowledge knows no bounds - thank you sir for all your help!

Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to fly fish and anyone else who wants to spend a relaxing time in an incredible part of the UK - quite often overlooked in a desperate attempt to reach Glasgow or Edinburgh.
